Ingredients
Scale
- About 12 pre-made cream cheese-stuffed jalapeño poppers (frozen or fresh)
- 1 can (8 oz / 227 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ½ cup (56 g) shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into rectangles. Slice each rectangle into thin strips about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) wide.
- Wrap each jalapeño popper with the crescent dough strips, leaving small gaps to create a mummy look. Patch any tears with extra dough strips.
- Place wrapped poppers on the baking sheet spaced evenly. Brush each lightly with egg wash.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each popper and dust with paprika or garlic powder if desired.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until dough is golden brown and cheese is bubbling. For frozen poppers, bake 20-22 minutes, checking often.
- Let poppers cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If dough is sticky, chill for 5 minutes before slicing. Egg wash is optional but gives a golden finish. Watch oven closely to avoid burning. Can prep and refrigerate wrapped poppers up to 4 hours before baking. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3 days; reheat in oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to maintain crispiness. Microwave not recommended.
